Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 178 The Hundred Flowers Feast Competition 2
What's the situation now? In previous years, the Hundred Flowers Banquet did not select five people from every group of ten people.By analogy, will the last ten remaining compete for rankings?What is the situation now, that he can still choose his opponent?
Seeing Shen Wanyu's bewildered face, the old lady coughed lightly.A smile appeared on his face, and he explained to Shen Wanyu.

"You were not here just now. The competition rules of this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet are different from previous years. You can choose your opponent yourself, but if you lose, you will have no chance."

Shen Wanyu raised her eyebrows, wouldn't it be unlucky for someone not to be picked by anyone?She turned her head to look at the woman opposite her with a delicate face.It's just that the pride between the brows makes people look a little uncomfortable, she has no impression of this woman.It should be the type of passer-by, she hooked the corners of her lips,

"Okay, come on."

Although she didn't want to show off at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, someone provoked her.She would not refuse to challenge like a tortoise, and this woman came up to challenge her.It's because she saw that she didn't have any talents, so she picked her up as a soft persimmon.If you really have great talent, why not directly challenge those famous talented women and beauties.

When Lu Xiaoxuan looked at Shen Wanyu who readily agreed to come down to the competition, she was taken aback for a moment.Then I realized that she didn't have any talents, and my self-confidence increased a bit.

She bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Shen Wanyu.Shen Wanyu stood up without being polite, and directly walked over Lu Xiaoxuan to the central stage.

When she came back, it seemed that there had been three contests.This should be her fourth game, and she doesn't feel nervous at all.Although he was in a medical family in his previous life, some things happened later.She came to live in the strange imperial capital by herself and became a newcomer in the workplace.After years of hard work, she finally sat on the goal she set for herself at the beginning.It's a pity that within a few days of doing it, something happened that made me travel here.

"The people in this competition are Shen Wanyu, the eldest lady of Beining Marquis Mansion, and Lu Xiaoxuan, the youngest daughter of Prefect Lu. Both of them are both talented and beautiful. I don't know the two of you, who should come first?"

The fat middle-aged man smiled and looked at the two of them.

Shen Wanyu withdrew her mind and heard the fat man's words.Talented and beautiful?She seems to be okay, but that's it. She really wanted to ask him when he said this, but he was not guilty.

Lu Xiao turned the corner of his mouth into a decent smile, took a small step forward and said slowly: "Then the little girl will come first, Miss Shen won't mind?"

The soft words made the corners of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitch.She asked her this in front of so many people, how could she be ashamed to say no?Dare I ask, does this give her a chance to refuse?

Shen Wanyu didn't bother to argue with her, so she made a gesture of please.Then he turned around and sat down on the waiting chair, leaving the stage to her.She could tell at a glance what Miss Lu was thinking, but she was just preemptive.She just wanted to show herself off, but unfortunately she seemed to be disappointed.

Lu Xiaoxuan's talent show is a dance, if you haven't seen Shen Wanqing's dance, then her dance is not bad.It's a pity that with Shen Wanqing around, Miss Zhuo Lu's dance would not be able to catch anyone's eyes.Even without Shen Wanqing, her dancing is still very ordinary.

Accompanied by the soft music, she covered her mouth with her hand and yawned.It was such a boring show, but what was she supposed to do?dance?she won't.And among the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she only knows a little bit of Guqin, but she has almost forgotten it after many years of not touching it.

Here, Shen Wanyu was thinking hard about the performance to wait for, and Chu Mohan's indifferent eyes flashed helplessness and a smile in the audience.She was the only one who could yawn without looking at her contemplative little face on this big stage.He couldn't help but laugh, this girl didn't have much talent in his memory.

She did not participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet in her previous life.But this life is different, not only she participated, but also some people who would not participate.Many things are changing, so the ending between her and him will be different from the previous life.

When both of them fell into their own contemplation, the sound of the music gradually stopped.The dancers on the stage also stopped, and Lu Xiaoxuan's performance ended.

Shen Wanyu raised her head to look at the provocative woman walking towards her, and twitched the corners of her mouth.How did she jump so fast? She just thought about it.She stood up bravely and walked to the center of the stage.

Looking at the crowd of people under the stage, the eyes focused on him were full of sarcasm, contempt, worry and watching.Her heart was beating non-stop, when she touched those long and narrow phoenix eyes filled with encouragement and support.

Her beating heart gradually calmed down, and the past relationship between the two of them played back in her mind little by little.At this moment, the surroundings became blurred, only the moon-white figure was so clear.

Chu Mo, who was sitting under the stage, showed a gentle smile at Shen Wanyu.He knew she was looking at him, and this time he couldn't help her, all he could do for her was encourage and support.

The old lady looked at Shen Wanyu who was standing on the stage, she didn't know how important her precious granddaughter was.Looking at her nervously and worriedly, Shang Rui glanced at the old lady.She suddenly reached out to hold her hand, and patted it lightly.

The entire Hundred Flowers Banquet fell silent because Shen Wanyu stood silently on the stage. Everyone was wondering what the hell Shen Wanyu, who knew nothing, was doing.

Just when everyone was impatient with waiting, Shen Wanyu slowly raised her head.There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and his whole person instantly lit up.

I still remember the pity in the corner of your eyes in the misty rain of the previous life.

I will sew a gown for you, and you will tie my hair in a bun.

The half of my life in troubled times was wandering, and I couldn't grow old with you.

Now Naihe Bridge sings a song, I am waiting for you here.

A soft and low voice sounded at the quiet Hundred Flowers Banquet without a musical ensemble.It was just a clean sound, like a slowly flowing river flowing into everyone's ears.

Poured Meng Po's soup to worship Bodhi, sticking to the memories of the previous life.

Embracing this side of Qingxu, I have no sorrow or joy.

Looking back at the sky from a corner of the underworld, who is sighing softly.

A hundred years of time waiting for the flowering period, can I see you again.

Shen Wanyu stared at Chu Mohan, and she suddenly remembered her favorite song in her previous life.At the beginning, I would cry every time I listened to it. How helpless was that woman's persistence to the person she loved until she gave up at the end.What would happen to her if she were her?
I quietly returned to the world, from the lake embankment to the mountain top.

Looking for that familiar face, just to take a look.

But I saw you in the city wall, accompanied by that beautiful family like a flower.

The bank of the river with pink willows and green is like you and me back then.

The soft and gentle voice suddenly turned into sadness, and the heavy sadness instantly enveloped everyone's hearts.They couldn't help showing a lonely and sad expression, as if they felt the sorrow of that woman.

The audience remained quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Shen Wanyu who was singing in a low voice.I saw that pair of clear eyes were full of sadness, as if seeing that sad woman.

You are tying the knot with her, vowing word for word.

But I suddenly see the joy of the previous life, the love between you and me.

If I stay here and now, will you remember.

In the previous life, you said that if I die, you will still marry me in the next life.

Shen Wanyu's eyes turned slightly red, and her voice was choked with sobs.When she was emotional, she could no longer control her voice.I just felt a throbbing pain in my heart, for that woman who made people feel distressed.

Now the pity in the corner of your eyes falls on her forehead.

Silk and bamboo play a piece of reminiscence, and at the end of the song, I cried a few drops.

The world is like a white horse passing by, where it comes from and where it goes.

Listening to this vulgar song in the sun, but comprehend the Zen mechanism.

A tear slipped from Shen Wanyu's eye socket and hit the ground.The corner of her mouth evoked a smile as if she was relieved, as if she had realized something.But that smile that sees through everything makes people feel a burst of pain no matter how they look at it.

I went back to the Buddha and told what I saw in the world.

The Buddha said that everything is obsession, and letting go is also fate.

You are already a hundred years ago, a period of mist in the past.

I am willing to use forgetfulness to fulfill, and meet again in the next life.

When I came to the bridge of Naihe, I picked up half a bowl of Po Meng.

For a split second, the lingering past life is vividly in front of my eyes.

The lights of the past life are dimmed, who is having fun.

And who is standing by the small river, looking back, unable to see through.

The low and plaintive voice continued like the drizzle in June, lingering on everyone's hearts for a long time and refusing to dissipate.Looking at the woman on the stage with her head bowed, singing softly.Those slightly lifted little faces were full of sadness and pity.At this moment, everyone forgot that she was the unruly and willful Shen Wanyu.

Shen Wanyu hummed the last chorus softly, and looked at Chu Mohan with reddish eyes.For some reason, she suddenly spoke slowly.There was a hint of hoarseness in the voice, as soft as water.

"He said that in the next life, he will definitely ride a white horse, wear a red coat, and marry me like he did back then."

This gentle sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts, and also knocked back their lack of focus.There was a round of applause at the quiet Hundred Flowers Banquet, although the song was not suitable for performance on such an occasion.But I have to say that her singing and music touch people's hearts.In this contest of disparity in strength, no one can tell the winner at a glance.

Shen Wanyu pulled herself out of the song and watched the reaction below.She sighed in her heart, she was too invested just now and didn't expect to get such good praise.She looked at Chu Mohan, but she saw that the other person was looking at her in a daze.There was a complicated light in the eyes, and then they were all hidden under calmness.He just gave himself a look of praise.

The result of the competition ended with Shen Wanyu winning, and when she returned to her seat, she felt a gaze looking at her.
